Basements get a bad rap. They're often dark, damp, dusty, and completely ignored. But what if your basement could actually be a clean, usable space you’re proud of?
That’s where epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings come in.
At Gorilla Tuff Coatings, we transform dull, dingy basements across Hudson Valley NY and Northern NJ into bright, clean, low-maintenance spaces that actually add value to your home. Here's what you need to know if you're considering coating your basement floor.
Moisture Is a Major Factor
Most basement slabs are below grade, which means moisture can easily creep up through the concrete. If you skip proper moisture mitigation, any coating you put down could bubble or peel.
That’s why we always start with a true moisture vapor barrier. It seals the slab and protects the floor from moisture intrusion.
Epoxy & Polyaspartic = The Perfect Combo
Our system uses a thick, high-solids epoxy base coat followed by a durable, UV-stable polyaspartic top coat. This combo delivers:
A clean, seamless surface
Resistance to moisture, mold, and mildew
Easy maintenance (no more concrete dust!)
A modern, finished look
Great for More Than Just Storage
A coated basement floor isn’t just nice to look at — it makes your space useable:
Home gym? No problem.
Workshop? Absolutely.
Kids' playroom or chill zone? Way better than bare concrete.
We’ve helped homeowners all over Orange County, Rockland County, Bergen County, and beyond turn their forgotten basements into something functional and clean.
No More Dust. No More Stains.
Bare concrete is dusty, stains easily, and can feel cold and gross. Our coatings completely seal the surface, making your basement:
Easier to clean
Resistant to spills and chemicals
More comfortable and inviting
💬 Final Thought
If your basement is just a dumping ground right now, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
An epoxy and polyaspartic coating system can completely transform the space. Clean, dry, and built to last.
